HUBLOT’S Big Bang Broderie wins the “Ladies Best Watch” prize at the GPHG
Hublot was declared the winner in the prestigious “Ladies’” watches category with the Big Bang Broderie at the Grand Prix de l’Horlogerie de Genève 2015 held on October 29.
“We are proud to be recognized today in the “Ladies” category with our iconic product Big Bang. The Big Bang Broderie is a perfect illustration of the Swiss innovation, combining two crafts of Swiss tradition,” declared Jean-Claude Biver, President of LVMH Watch Division and Chairman of Hublot, who was present at the Grand Théâtre de Genève to receive the award.
Ricardo Guadalupe, CEO of Hublot said, “This prize is also recognition of our work and our ever-growing watchmaking expertise. What a long way we have come in 10 years! This prize motivates us even more since it’s a great sign of encouragement for everyone, as much in house as for our loyal suppliers, partners and clients. Many thanks to my teams and to the Jury of the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève.”
With the Big Bang Broderie, and the principle of fusion so dear to the brand: Hublot connects the past to the future, and draws a respect for Swiss tradition into the creativity and technology of the 21st century. Its attractive fine embroidery, a feminine material par excellence, sits next to the skin and is synonymous with intimacy. Paying tribute to the memory of the needlework with fine Saint Gall embroidery—a 100% Swiss-made ancestral art—produced by the Swiss flagship company Bischoff, Hublot continues to revisit craftsmanship in its own style. Together, the creative teams of the two houses thus developed an exclusive pattern that could join with the Big Bang’s iconic design. A rebel spirit featuring a skull design on a dial framed with 11 diamonds, with soft arabesques for the bezel and the strap, the technical execution alone required several months of research and development.
